No it's not, That's Michael Keaton, not Christian Bale :p

 

Nope, definitely Christian Bale! :p

Haha, no it doesn't have any relation to my username (well it might have after the incident), but that's a whole 'nother story. :p

 

Short version: Porsche Club weekend at Road Atlanta, damp track, borrowed car, exceeded the power>grip ratio and backed it into a tirewall just past turn 3. I was doing quick lap times and got the nickname of Flash Gordon, until the incident and someone said something like "needs to change his name to Crash Gordon" and I thought it was funny and embraced it. :D

 

You know they have Xbox Ones now so you can do that at home with Forza.

It's a ghost. It's a character used to promote breakfast cereal. That's about it.

 

 

Big cereal fan I take it?

 

I probably should have made this topic "Explain your Username and/or avatar". If an overlord .. I mean mod is reading this, you can do that.  :laugh:

Mine used to be an old Neowin logo from a green version of the site, but something happened (can't remember what) and I lost it, now its just blank.

 

The name is a longer story. I was testing some bit of code (don't remember what code now) and needed an alternative username from my usual of rstat1. The 2008 version of the Visual C# express edition had a green splashscreen (where the green in the name comes from) and C# spelled out is C Sharp (where the Sharp comes from), so I combined the two and used the resulting word Sharpgreen as the username.

Mine is pretty self-explanatory, I think. I need to make a clearer version of it, but so far couldn't be bothered.

 

It's clever and still makes me giggle even after all these years, so I've never changed it. Plus, that song is so darn catchy.

 

*hums and hammer-slides offstage*

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
